I am trying to translate the childrens strory La Zarigüeya and I have come across a word that I can not find. The sentence goes like this:
Altivo como cualquier humano, el estaba enchido de orgullo.
Como se dice enchido??

No, no - ¡es "henchido" ! Es como lleno a reventar. RAE: "henchir. (Del lat. implēre). 1. tr. llenar (‖ ocupar totalmente con algo un espacio). 2. tr. colmar (‖ dar con abundancia)." - Gekkosan, Apr 13, 2010
ah claro, lo voy a cambiar, jeje, solo pensaba en hinchar - 00494d19, Apr 13, 2010

In this sentence, the word henchido means that the person was full of pride or bursting with pride.
